please help re reference to 'deleted' dll

[erika]

Compaq with XP SP1 (I think -- it is friends machine) connected via dialup: Symantec subscription lapsed so AVG ant-virus, Spybot S&D and AdAware were installed on my advice. When these were run a number of problems were found including WildTangent. They now have a message displaying after booting and logging in saying that 'C:\Program|WildTangent\Apps\CDA\cdaEngine0400.dll ' can't be found. Can anyone please advise.

PS: Spybot also says there are the following data source object exploits --
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Inter net Settings\Zones\0\1004!=W=3
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-4087877812-208011349-900067506-1009\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings\Zones\0\1004!=W=3
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Inter net Settings\Zones\0\1004!=W=3
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Inter net Settings\Zones\0\1004!=W=3 HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0\1004!=W=3

Thanks Viktoria, will try those directions. What about the DSO exploits though, is there a problem with those HKEY_USERS items listed?

Run this program after you have D/L it into it's own folder. It must be in it's own folder. Post your log.

You could also run Spybot search and destroy [free program] which will probably reslove any DSO probs you have.......

Spybot S&D was run but those HKEY entries listed above were left alone as I didn't recognize them and was afraid they might be necessary to something legit. I'm also a little nervous about using HijackThis though directions seem comprehensive. It will be a few days before I can get over to Ann's but I'll post results asap.

Thanks again.

Erika, if Spybot already came up with them as spyware, then get rid of them All will be fine. Apologies, I forgot that you had run Spybot in your original post. Just give them the axe; Spybot does have backup and anything done can be undone just as fast.

Thanks for reassurance, it's needed when I have to deal with Windows innards!
